The phonon flag, which is enabled for many users to get media-sound/phonon support, pulls in dev-qt/qtphonon when enabled on designer. This causes blockers for many people. Since (as I understand it) qtphonon is mostly unmaintained, doesn't work with most packages, and is going away in Qt 5, I suggest masking the USE flag to prevent people who are trying to use phonon from hitting a number of blockers.
Actually, it would be interesting to test if phonon designer plugin can work with media-sound/phonon.
KDE deps are already fixed. Feel free to close the bug. KDE is out of the game. + 20 Jul 2013; Johannes Huber <johu@gentoo.org> kwin-4.10.4.ebuild, + kwin-4.10.5.ebuild: + Don't pull in dev-qt/qtphonon.
Useflag masked (acked by kensington for qt)
Doesn't kde-phonon install a designer plugin too? If so, I'd prefer having the usual dep: "kde? ( || ( kdephonon qtphonon ) ) !kde? ( qtphonon )"
(In reply to Davide Pesavento from comment #4) Well that won't work obviously... but you got what I mean. BTW has the qtgui dep in kde-phonon been fixed for qt 4.8.5?
(In reply to Davide Pesavento from comment #4) > Doesn't kde-phonon install a designer plugin too? If so, I'd prefer having I agree, this mask only really needs to be temporary to reduce the fallout until it's fixed properly (4.8.5 probably shouldn't have been unmasked yet anyway). > BTW has the qtgui dep in kde-phonon been fixed for qt 4.8.5? I think only the USE flag changes have been fixed in revdeps. media-libs/phonon still says '>=dev-qt/qtgui-4.6.0:4'.

ROFL I suspected that there was something fishy when I've seen in ChangeLog *who* dropped the mask, but it doesn't make it less funny. Still, these few bugs aside, the transition was quite smooth.
Created attachment 398144 [details, diff] designer-phonon.patch Suggested patch. Then we can drop the USE mask and the designer[-phonon] dep from KDE.

Either I completely misunderstood the patch, or you got the logic wrong in src_prepare.

Looks good now, thanks.
